Rosacea turned out to be a deficiency of salt, as I found out from doing some experimenting with diet. See if this doesn't make sense.
A patient is on a long-term low-salt diet for any number of reasons: to lose weight, high blood pressure, etc. After years of this there isn't enough chlorine in the system (chlorine molecule in salt [NaCL]) for the stomach to make Hydrochloric acid (HCL). Food won't digest. The blood contains salt so the body flushes larger than usual amounts of blood into the stomach area to aid in digestion. The mouth & nose are part of the digestive system, so extra blood flushes in here as well. This is a chronic problem so large amounts of blood are flushing into the facial area daily, especially after a meal. For people who blush easily (veins & capillaries that stretch easily & become enlarged quickly ) rosacea develops as these blood vessels become increasingly stretched and damaged. By this time the body is quite low on salt and does not contain the usual cup or 3/4 cup of salt that is part of good health. It takes several months of a higher salt diet for the problem to go away.
This extra protein that is produced, well I don't know how that fits in except maybe the body starts making it as kind of a protection for these damaged blood vessels in the face.
